Itinerary

Home to Europe's largest active volcano -- Mount Etna -- Catania boasts a rich and unique culture, which has in part been shaped by the constant threat of Etna. Catania is bursting with historic buildings and landmarks representing its many invaders including the Spanish, Greeks, Romans and even Arabs, but it also offers visitors plenty of other attractions including beautiful beaches, a number of excellent museums and lots of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Few cities on earth have the power to bowl you over quite like Rome. Discover a city packed with historical wonder, artistic splendour and culinary temptation at every turn. Not to mention enough designer shops to keep you browsing for a year.

This beautiful port city is conveniently located along the Western Mediterranean and offers a variety of excursions. Genoa has a long and rich history. It is a pleasant city where you can easily spend a whole day. Strolling along the old harbor or in the historic center with its many marble palaces. It is also the city where the explorer Christopher Columbus was born. You can still visit his birthplace. Popular excursions outside Genoa are Savona, Portofino and the Cinque Terre.

Barcelona is up there with the most famous cities in the world, and for good reason. Sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and the Serra de Collserola hills, this Spanish titan promises cutting-edge architecture, trend-setting fashion and art that breaks the mould. It’s a place where boutique-lined boulevards and intimate espresso bars give way to authentic tapas joints and narrow cobbled streets.

If you look north of the cathedral (La Seu, or the seat of the bishopric, to Mallorcans) on a map of the city of Palma, you can see around the Plaça Santa Eulàlia a jumble of tiny streets that made up the earliest settlement. Farther out, a ring of wide boulevards traces the fortifications built by the Moors to defend the larger city that emerged by the 12th century. The zigzags mark the bastions that jutted out at regular intervals. By the end of the 19th century, most of the walls had been demolished; the only place where you can still see the massive defenses is at Ses Voltes, along the seafront west of the cathedral.
